I appreciate the way one of our northern brothers, a civil right activist and chairman of the socialist front (SF) addressed some Northern governors telling them the truth about their inabilities to develope their states within the past seven years in office.

He, mallam Shehu Sani plainly told his northern brothers that they should prove that they can survive without the oil produced in the Niger Delta and without politics as they have been dependent on both.Am sure you know what that means?

If other top placed Nigerians will come out and criticise their own people openly for wrongs committed, am sure that Nigeria will be better.because its better to remove the lump in one's eye before one's neighbour's eye.

If you read wednesday May 3rd Guardian you will understand better.

I do not consider the Hausas and Fulanis my "brothers". Death to the North!!

@ Afeni

All i can say is that you lack a sound mind and have come down so low that even a fool will know that he has more wits than you.

Some people just come here and say some dumb things. Please how is "death to the North" affecting Nigeria right now or what has the North done to bring Nigeria down that other sides of Nigeria hasn't? Last time i checked, people like Diya, Aikhomu,Ike Nwachukwu, Tom Ikimi, Tony Anenih were actively involved with the governments that brought Nigeria down, so why should the north take the blame.

See i am sick of this constant bickerings against Northern Nigeria, It is simply stupid!

If the North was not part of Nigeria, I assure that the country would be a lot better place to live. The Northern Generals have wrecked the state. It seems like the Northerners are the only ones interested in keeping Nigeria as one.

Also, the Northern people (those in the Sharia States and those that went on Islamic riots) are making Nigeria look like it is filled with islamofacist people. That kind of image has cost the State millions of jobs. And also, dont kid yourself, I am not the only southerner that wants the Northerners out of the Union.

Danmasani, would you recommend that the North become independent? Because I know just about everyone that lives in the south cringes at the thought of power return back to Fulani/Hausa group. To make matters worse, you ruin the image of the state by implementing backward Islamofacist laws (Sharia) that even Arabian states don't have.

Hausas and Fulanis need to realise that the only reason you people are muslim is because you got your ass kicked by the invading Jihadist about 400 years ago. Stop going out of your way to support Allah or Jesus. You are corrupted by these <<wrong>> religions.

Its funny how Africans are quick to copy things that do not matter from the west and the east (Islam and Christianity), but when it comes time to copying things that really matters (Agriculture and machinical knowlege) you take your time. A lot of the eastern Asian (Japan and South Korea) countries that have booming economies are not Christian or Muslim. They were too busy copying things that matter like automobile technology and improved communication technology instead of bowing down to the stupid western and eastern gods that are no more superior to our traditional gods back home.

I'm sorry I if I offend anyone by my words, but lets face it, you are not muslim or christian just because you saw the "light". Your ancestors were forced to adopt the faith of the invaders and they passed on the madness to the next generation.
